Comment (by punkish):

 I uninstalled and reinstalled the commandline tools and got a bit more
 ahead with installing `upx` before I hit another roadblock with
 `python310` (see below for the error). I think this maybe because sometime
 ago I upgraded python to 3.12, but `upx` seems to depend on `python310`
 and tries to install it, but croaks with the following error
